There are just a handful of seats left in the stalls, so if you were thinking about coming along to the London shows, now is definitely the time to grab them.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to pint-sized distant pod. This is where we go back through our archive and try to find you the very best bits that we can to help you on your journey through the distant pod archive. Every episode we've ever done still exists and |
| 0:22.4 | they're all timeless. So if you want to head back to episode 23 and have a listen or episode 14 |
| 0:28.7 | or episode 137, this should help you on the journey. In the episode description, it says where |
| 0:35.7 | the clip is from this week. Go find that one. |
| 0:38.6 | Wherever you listen to your podcasts |
| 0:40.2 | and it'll help you on your journey |
| 0:42.3 | through the Distant Pod archives. |
| 0:45.0 | Or it might just be a little bit of a fun reminder |

| 0:49.7 | Here it is this week's Distant Pod |
| 0:52.9 | pint-sized episode why do we get a lead and then try to sit on |

| 1:35.2 | have smashed it out for 10 minutes and then struggled for a little while after that and maybe even |
